The Brent Magazine issue 84 November 2008

Cover of The Brent Magazine issue 84Welcome to November edition of The Brent Magazine

 

This time of year is always great fun for families, with festivals, parties and celebrations across Brent's diverse communities. But, unfortunately it can also be a time of increased anti-social behaviour and concern for local people.


This month's magazine is about community safety and the different things that are happening in Brent to help residents of all ages feel safer.


A new service was recently launched to help watch over a person who is vulnerable if a family member or carer cannot be around. Read how Telecare has helped one Brent couple.


With the help of undercover youngsters Brent Trading Standards is successfully catching out traders illegally selling knives and other age-restricted products to under-18s.


Our cover story looks at how a school is helping its pupils feel happier through a new buddy scheme.


Finally a new look for this online version of the magazine in line with the changes being made across all of www.brent.gov.uk. All our regular items and features can be found in the right side navigation list and previous issues can be found on our Brent Magazine month by month page.
